Guatelinda Bakery — Avondale bakery anchored by the Chuchitos. Flavors that haven't been adjusted for mass appeal. Friendly without hovering. Nix Campbell: "The sugar level is not over the top either, a good balance of buttery to sweet" [$]

Muy bonito el lugar. Es una pequeña panadería, tienda y comedor. Muy cerca de la estación de tren azul.

Highly recommend this sweet bakery in Logan Square. The staff are lovely and so helpful. I was looking for sweet bread and they recommended “gusanito”. It was so good, I went back the next day for more!

Friendly and helpful staff available to explain products available. The ladies at the front desk were quick to get me my food prepared, place it in an easy to carry box and even hold the door open for me. The products and service received were exceptionally great.

This bakery feels like homec everytime I walk in. incredible authentic Guatemalan finds, the lovely lady in the front is so kind and welcoming, delicious breads, pastries, and authentic Guatemalan dishes like tamales, chuchitos, paches etc. I love this place, thank you and God bless! Esta panadería se siente como en casa cada vez que entro. Increíbles hallazgos guatemaltecos auténticos, la encantadora señora del frente es muy amable y acogedora, panes y pasteles deliciosos, y platos guatemaltecos auténticos como tamales, chuchitos, paches, etc. Me encanta este lugar. Gracias y Dios te bendiga!

My family has Guatemalan tamales every year around the holidays. I did a lot of research to find a place with that authentic Guatemalan flavor and texture. This place took the trophy! Amazing and delicious pork and chicken tamales. If you’re looking for tamales for the holidays, this is the place! I ordered 14 tamales along with some bakery items and everything was delicious. The owner (Melissa I believe?) was so kind and sweet. And bilingual! I can’t wait to try more of their food.

Best Guatemala bread I've had. I will definitely come back. This bread took me back to my childhood.

The service there was impeccable. Very welcoming. We placed an order for Christmas eve but purchased some goodies to take home and I can't wait to go back and buy more. My boyfriend ordered food that looks amazing. Haven't tried it yet but will update once he does. I ate what I bought before I could take pics but I'll make sure to get some pics next time.
